Relation To Books Capt. Hook: The Adventures of a Notorious Youth

With his long black curls, a shadowy family tree, and an affinity for pet spiders, James Matthew bears little resemblance to his starched-collar, blue-blooded peers at Eton. Dubbed King Jas., he stops at nothing to become the most notorious underclassman in the prestigious school's history. For James, sword fighting, falling in love with an Ottoman Sultana, and challenging the Queen of England are all in a day's skullduggery. But when he sets sail on a ship with a mysterious mission, King Jas.' dream of discovering a magical island quickly turns into an unimaginable nightmare.

Screenwriter J. V. Hart traces the evolution of J. M. Barrie's classic villain from an eccentric outcast to the scourge of Neverland.

Criticize Out Of Books Capt. Hook: The Adventures of a Notorious Youth

~ Even the darkest of villains can have a hero's heart ~This tale tells the story of Captain Hook before he officially takes the name Captain Hook, during his time spent at Eton College getting his education, and his transformation into the villain we know and love. If you ever wanted to know the history of Captain Hook, it couldn't have been done better by even J.M. Barrie himself. Although there is no Peter Pan here, this is my favorite of all the sequels, prequels, side-stories, etc., that

140-Character Summary: The fresh story of how the well-known Captain Hook came to acquire his notoriety during his days at Eton.First 140 Characters of the Book: "It was his eyes. The color of blue forget-me-nots, piercing, like two novas in a sky of dying stars. Profoundly melancholy, yes. Except when..." (p. 1).140-Character Review: A great story of how a wonderful villain become villainous. Hook's oppressors were sufficiently evil and he, sufficiently good. (Surprised?)

I loved this book so much and read it when it first came out. I still think about the characters and I wish there was a sequel!

What Wicked is to Wizard of Oz, Capt. Hook is to Peter Pan. This story follows the life of the man we know as Captain James T. Hook.The character of James (or, Jas.) is one that you can't help but root for, despite his arrogance. He's a little over cocky and dramatic, but the same is true for the Captain Hook we've seen portrayed in so many different ways. Though a lot of his actions are a little abnormal, he's generally a good guy put through some tough situations while still maintaining

I read this book because my class took a trip to a local bookstore to meet JV Hart. I was immideatly drawn to his way of speaking, his ideas, and what he was saying to us. He was an extremely interesting guy. He signed my book for me and even talked to me about pursuing a career in writing myself.This book was beautiful when I read it the first time. I loved how you got to see a different side of James. Instead of the greedy man that you more commonly see in Peter Pan and the like, I got to know

I'm giving this book a big thumbs up for delivering the story that I wished someone would always write. That pansy peter pan is a pathetic pipsqueek compared to Hook! The biography of this splendid character was given a descent amount of action, heart and fantasy to make it match the Peter Pan classic. Readers should completely ignore historical corelations and just enjoy the story. There are a few elements in this book that I wished were elaborated on more. I expected these loose ends to be

This book was...awesome?...amazing?...glorious? Words fail me. Captain Hook has always annoyed me slightly because, deep down, I always wanted him to be a gentleman and he never was. And then I read this book. And King Jas. Matthew Bastard, O.S.B., Keeper of the Wall--Lord Protector of the Pudding (as is painted on his wall by fellow classmates) crawled into my brain and took up residence. He has the perfect mix of a kind of cold politeness and barbaric masochism to make the legendary Hook. But
